Wet-Blue Leather

Abstract

Developing countries that export raw hides and skins often wish to make better use of this indigenous raw material - often one of the few resources available - by producing leather locally. However, building a complete finished-leather factor,y could result in economic failure. Entering the international leather market and obtaining a satisfactory price for finished leather are extremely difficult, especially at first. Therefore, finished leather should be produced only if a reliable outlet, providing an adequate price guarantee, is assured.
